7Amazing Future Apple Technologies

It’s the race for future, and every technology giant wants to be the premier innovator. And when it comes to Apple, you can bet they are up to creating something revolutionary like the iPod, iPhone and the Mac. Here is a look at some unbelievable technological innovations that Apple is working on.

1. Virtual Keyboard

Apple is working on a keyboard that will actually not exist. The virtual keyboard for iMacs and MacBooks would allow us to use almost any flat surface as a keyboard. This would be made possible by using a camera integrated into the iMac/MacBook. Using this keyboard, users will be able to type while a real-time image of their exact finger placements will appear on the screen.

2. 3D iPhone

Anything related to an iPhone is always in news and if it’s about a 3D iPhone then it’s bound to grab eyeballs. Apple's 3D user interface for iPhone (patent) will be using proximity sensors to constantly display the correct depth and perspective, no matter what the device's orientation is. The patent also talks about hovering hand gestures hinting touch-free gesture controlled iPhones in the future.

3. An Electromagnetic Laptop-Tablet Hybrid

There is nothing actually new about a laptop-tablet hybrid. One from every major company is available in the market. However, as expected, Apple tweaked the existing concept of the laptop-tablet hybrid by using an electromagnet to help snap the screen into place, along with the ability to wirelessly transfer power from the base to the tablet.

4. The iBike

Apple scored the patent for a smart bike or as the world would like to call it – the iBike way back in 2010. The bike will function in sync with the user's iPhone or iPod allowing users to get feedback on their "speed, distance, time, altitude, elevation, incline, decline, heart rate, power, derailleur setting, cadence, wind speed, path completed, expected future path, heart rate, power, and pace. Sounds amazing already!

5. Smart Touch Bezel/Body

Apple is so ambitious that it wants to take touch beyond the screen and on the bezel. Apple is working on a super smart, predictive bezel that ignores unintentional touch, but is capable of accepting inputs beyond the screen. Individual patches of touch-sensitive material could also be turned on or off.

6. Shake To Print

If this comes true, Apple will add a whole another dimension to printing altogether. As opposed to the traditional menu system printing, Apple is working on a system that will allow you to merely shake your phone to send a print command. It will also enable the ability to easily print a combination of documents, photos, and web pages, all from one menu.

7. A controllable, Transparent Display

Move aside curved screen, Apple is working on a transparent display. This Sci-fi patent details a transparent display technology that will conceal a camera, strobe, and even the finger print sensor beneath the transparent display. The display would turn transparent when needed, making the camera or fingerprint sensor visible and accessible.
